Re: Auditory Attention Test

[Fatima Husain <husainf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear List
Is there an auditory equivalent of the Trail Making 
neuropsychological test for visual attention and task switching? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail-making_test)

The ones I have been able to find appear to target children and test
 for either ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) or CAPD 
(central auditory processing disorder). 

One candidate is the Brief Test of Attention (http://www4.parinc.com/Products/Product.aspx?ProductID=BTA). Does anyone have experience with this?

I am looking for a 5-15 minute test of auditory attention on older adults. 

Thanks in advance for 
your help.

Best
Fatima Husain
